I know some WordPress block developers are having issues getting their blocks to work with Block API v3, i.e., the iframe editor, due to dependencies on legacy JS libraries. I've provided a small example to help you solve the problem. I hope it helps. github.com/t-hamano/jquer…

I hope more writers will consider hosting their words on an open source platform and not falling for the fake 'network effects' of a social network pretending to be a CMS. Great breakdown of the differences here: wordpress.com/blog/2025/07/2…

AI is changing the digital agency model. Here is how and why it matters: dri.es/ai-and-the-gre…

Coming soon! Introducing Editor Suite for @BuildWithOllie. We've crafted a suite of next-level builder tools to extend the @WordPress block editor. Native, lightweight, simple to use. We're doubling down on our motto — Design Better and Build Faster with Ollie Pro.

. @raemoreywrites gives you a peek inside the Woo marketing engine:

Holy cow Claude Code is fantastic building off the Laravel +React starter kit. Granted I started with a much better technical document outlining the structure and architecture, but just.. wow. I'm impressed.

I love the "wordpress/create-block" package, but I don't like the name, now that it's being used for many things other than creating blocks. If you agree, please join my discussion on GitHub so we can challenge this terrible injustice. github.com/WordPress/gute…

Why I'm a terrible vibe coder, thoughts on the future of AI + WordPress, and my response to another Gutenberg "crisis" article. All that and more in my latest newsletter, sent this morning 📬 briancoords.com/newsletter/my-…

Excited to be in such good company- the first round of confirmed speakers for WordCamp Canada 2025. canada.wordcamp.org/2025/announcin…

Woo's mini-cart will be ditching the frontend React dependency completely for the Interactivity API 🎉 The full beta is coming in 10.1, but you can start testing now and share your feedback: github.com/woocommerce/wo…

When I put my sunscreen on myself and see my wife judging me.

I have been spending more time in Claude Code than Cursor, but if you all could just tell me the next one we're all going to be using, that'd be great.

Cool to see what the @DevelopWoo community members come up with for each release. @BorkoLivic shared this open source plugin with an entire UI for generating and managing Shareable Checkout URLs, including QR codes and more. github.com/blivic/woocomm…

If you could change one thing in @WooCommerce (add, remove, or improve), what would it be?

Back on the pod to talk to @mattmedeiros about whether WordPress themes are dead, why Claude code burns my money, and when we think AI will be able to make decent UI. webmasters.fm/are-wordpress-…

Very cool. Love the strong vision and technical roadmap. If you’re building AI products on WP, then contributing to the shared infrastructure now could be a win-win scenario.

the @gravatar team just shipped a Wrapper so that you can query gravatar images for all your supabase users SELECT * FROM gravatar.profiles WHERE email = '[email protected]'; enjoy ↓

Lots of small quality of life improvements in @riversidedotfm recently, playback speed while editing, exporting in different formats got easier, the UI is maybe a little easier to navigate. Kudos to that team!

WordPress Credits program is pretty cool. What do you think @WooCommerce should do to support it? Providing students access to software? Something more?

Who else is coming to WordCamp Canada?
